It can bring the crowd out of their seats and have the front row famous celebrities ducking.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">In this post, we’re going to be looking at some of the greatest blocks in the league’s history, the ones that leave the bench in awe and the offense frustrated in disbelief.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">While lots of scoring and great plays on the offensive end are what sells NBA tickets and makes people become basketball fans, some of the most thrilling plays in the NBA are blocks.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Here are 10 Best and Greatest Blocks Occurred in the History of NBA:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>1. Michael Jordan<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eqHmv8aQe7Q?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Ron Mercer had no idea that Michael Jordan had his sights set on embarrassing him. MJ proved he could still play when he came back with the Wizards, with this block helping the cause.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>2. Javale McGee<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A8naCyrcXZ4?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Javale McGee was like a sneaky fox in this play. He knew that Wesley Matthews was getting ready to lay it down and positioned himself accordingly. The result? An absolute monster block!<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>3. Nate Robinson<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kt5pOPn_0Ik" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Yao Ming is one of the tallest players to ever play in the NBA while Nate Robinson is one of the shortest. For Robinson to reject Yao Ming’s shot is pretty impressive and just proves how ridiculous Nate’s hops are.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>4. LeBron James<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NYz-_AsTASY?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Jason Richardson thought that he was going to be able to land a huge 360 dunk on the breakaway but LeBron James had other plans. See how he totally embarrasses Richardson with this tremendous pack.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>5. Shaquille O’Neal<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lEG4XeEDQ4M?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Shaq was one of the most dominant centers to ever play in the NBA. How dominant? Whenever you can reject Michael Jordan you deserve the highest respect.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>6. Tim Duncan<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ba3ibssRIgw?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Tim Duncan has been holding it down in San Antonio for a long time. He may be old, but when he plays like this only confirm how athletic he still is.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>7. Hakeem Olajuwon<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uXaDeTq4PGA?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Hakeem Olajuwon is one of the best centers to ever play in the NBA. He certainly lived up to that reputation here, as he showed David Robinson who the big honcho was on the court.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>8. Roy Hibbert<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XIVyhx8e-Jw?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />Carmelo Anthony is one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA and somehow always finds his way to the basket. When he tried taking it to the rim against Roy Hibbert, the Indiana center brought Carmelo back down to reality with this absolute stuff.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>9. Tayshaun Prince<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_GD8feepwrE?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />One play can change the whole course of a basketball game. Here, Prince’s block of Reggie Miller may have changed an entire series.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>10. LeBron James<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QI8-PbK1wmY?feature=player_embedded" width="500"></iframe><br /></div><br />LeBron James is one of the most athletic basketball players to ever play in the NBA. With that being said, you can never count him out on being able to make a play, like this one in the Finals a couple years back.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>SHARE.

As they point out on their website that a tree takes between 10 to 40 long years to grow, but a coffin made from wood is only used for 3 days. That didn’t seem very practical to them, so they came up with a way to save the life of one tree and plant another.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The Capsula Mundi project is designed by Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel, who developed an organic, Eco-friendly burial capsule that will turn the deceased’s body into nutrients for a tree that will grow out of their remains. The designers use renewable materials made from seasonal plants such as potatoes and corn.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The idea is to provide a green burial option by creating “memory forests,” where people will be placed in an egg-like capsule that’s made from a starch plastic which is 100% biodegradable underneath the trees. After being encapsulated in the fetal position, the deceased is buried and either a tree or tree seed is planted above their capsule. The project’s site already has a number of trees to choose from.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>An Italian company came up with an Eco-friendly alternative to coffins.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
